Thank you for the quick reply.

The .que attached appears to be blank.

When you download the questionnaire file, try saving it to your computer before opening it in the Experiment Editor.

Hi Jason,

For some reason, when I change the variable name from "mc" to anything else, the file stops working. Instead of the answer choices previously chosen, I see the variable name I changed it to when I embed it, e.g. <___opt>.

I've changed the variable name both in the initial question and item I'd like to embed it into, as well as the responses.xls document. Is there a reason why this wouldn't work when the variable name is changed?

Thanks for your help!

Please upload the questionnaire files and response.xls files that you changed and I will be happy to take a look at them.

The two files are attached. Thank you!

Hi cam15. I ran the files you uploaded and got the same kind of error. I got rid of it when I changed the names of the calculated variables, the ones that ended with opt in rows 10-17 of your responses.xls file. I just named them a1-a8 and the values from the formulas in cells b10-17 showed up as expected.

I'm going to look into why this was not working, but for now, you should be able to get around it by simply choosing different names for the calculated variables.

Thanks for looking in to this.
